For the Think Monday-Think ATC Challenge...My beloved Copic Markers, and a little glitter pen on top!
A heartfelt space where creativity and grandmotherhood intertwine to support mental well-being. Through my art, crafts and writing, I honor the bonds of family, the power of friendship, and the beauty of memories, all while nurturing my own mental health. My mission is to inspire others to find peace and joy through creativity, rooted in the timeless values of family, remembrance, and the unique role of being a grandmother.

floral lady
An altered magazine photo. I made the flowers out of various paper, etc. The tie-dyed flowers are actually baby wipes coloured with watercolour paint. (Another technique from Bernie's wonderful book - see below!)
This will eventually become a page in an art journal.
Face ATC's
These ATC's were created using a technique from Bernie Berlin's book, ARTIST TRADING CARD WORKSHOP. They are actually altered images from fashion magazines!

Idle
This week's prompt for Illustration Friday was "idle". I found this great quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and it was perfect for what I wanted to do...watercolours, a fine line black pen, and a white gel pen were my tools of choice.

magical woman
This is a 4 x 6 postcard, once again a combination of collage, and my own lettering. I just loved her face.
Summer Special!

Classic Page
This is another page in the altered art journal that I have. A little bit of everything, I like to combine my own lettering and doodles with found art. I added beads to the design on the bottom right of the page - the front of a thank you card I received.
